| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1941, Hong Kong's bronze coinage was already operating on borrowed time. The Japanese invasion in December of that year effectively ended British colonial minting operations, and most circulating coin was either hoarded, melted, or lost during the occupation. The 1941 cent is the final year of this type under George VI before the colony fell, and surviving examples in decent condition are genuinely scarce — not because mintages were low, but because the chaos of war was hard on small-denomination bronze.
